DROP THE LIME
ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN LIVE TOUR

NEW CLUB SINGLE “SHAKE BABY SHAKE” DUE OUT
SEPTEMBER 27 FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM ‘ENTER THE NIGHT’

FIRST SINGLE “HOT AS HELL” OUT NOW

New York-based producer/DJ DROP THE LIME has announced a North American tour where he will perform his live show across major cities in the U.S. and Canada, previewing material from his upcoming full-length debut album ENTER THE NIGHT for Ultra Music (release date TBA).  Coinciding with the tour, Ultra Music will release “Shake Baby Shake,” a new club single from DROP THE LIME on September 27.

Set to launch in San Francisco late September, the trek will take DROP THE LIME to Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Buffalo, Washington D.C, Boston and more. He’ll also DJ a handful of dates in Canada in late October.

Fifties rock 'n' roll and bass-heavy club music aren't two genres you'd typically put together, but in the mind of DROP THE LIME, they're a perfect combination. DROP THE LIME’s live show pushes the boundaries of electronic dance music by combining his two passions: classic rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll and bass-pumping dance music.

Joined onstage by vintage-costumed backup singers/dancers and a live drummer, DROP THE LIME fronts the full band as he sings live vocals with guitar strapped in hand. He masterfully switches to the DJ decks to create a new sound that blends vintage rock with electronic music, all the while holding down his signature New York bass style on tracks like “Shake Baby Shake,” “Let’s Go” and “Hot As Hell.”  Watch a behind-the-scenes video of DROP THE LIME’s debut live show at New York’s Music Hall of Williamsburg here: http://www.vimeo.com/24773610.

DROP THE LIME’s current single “Hot As Hell” is available now via Ultra Music and will be the first offering from his album. “Hot As Hell” was first released in the U.K. earlier this year to critical acclaim and had Mixmag hailing the music as "…a hellraising, rockabilly road trip…”

Adds Culture Of Me, “…what he's done with the single, mixing in his voice and an only-for-the-dance-floor drumming beat is nothing short of amazing…Maybe all the chola girls and greaser guys will go back and pick up 7" records from the likes of The Collins Kids and Wanda Jackson to rip out their parts for more of the billy-bass tunes that may well all come from this. For now, though, we have ‘Hot As Hell,’ and you guys have a good time coming your way.” The song is also receiving support from U.S. tastemakers like KCRW in Los Angeles and the New York Post.
